The injuries don’t cut as deep at West Coast but they decimate perhaps the most sensitive area in today’s footy, the forward line.

The Eagles deserved their win yesterday, I thought they were the better side for most of the game, but the Giants were without bona fide stars too, five of them, Toby Greene, Tom Scully, Jon Patten, Zac Williams and Brett Deledio.

Injuries aren’t new in this league... but at this level?

Maybe, just maybe, there’s a link between the standard of games we complain about and the absence of many of the games finest players. Just saying!
